Re: Outputing a list of articles for specific category on landing page

The form beneath is called with this <txp:article_custom section="assortiment" category="assortiment" form="-landing-subcat" />

And outputs this:-

<txp:if_custom_field name="Subcategorie">
	<txp:category name='<txp:custom_field name="Subcategorie"  />' title="1" link="1" />
</txp:if_custom_field>

Unfortunately There are two problems:
1. The form outputs nothing on landing page. (when i use another form with the content underneath it works, but of course wrong uri destination).
2. Secondly <txp:category ... link="1" /> outputs only a link and doesn’t allow me to dictate what aspects of the article are rendered i.e. <txp:image /> etc. etc. I don’t want just the title or a custom_field I need access to everything the article contains.

This is an example of the type of article output i require:

<li class="sub-category <txp:custom_field name='Subcategorie' />" id="<txp:article_id />">
    <h2>
	<a href="<txp:permlink />"> <!-- Should actually be a linktochildcat and not to individual article -->
	<span class="entry-title">
	    <span class="type"><txp:custom_field name="Hoofdcategorie" />&#160
		<if_txp:custom_field name="Subcategorie">
		    <txp:custom_field name="Subcategorie" />
		</if_txp:custom_field>
	    </span>
	</span>
	<span class="entry-image">
	    <txp:article_image />
	</span>
	</a>
    </h2>
</li>

Re: Outputing a list of articles for specific category on landing page

Re #2: replace <a href="<txp:permlink />"> with this:

<a href="<txp:site_url /><txp:section />/?c=<txp:custom_field name="Subcategorie" />">

Re #1: It outputs nothing on the landing page, but it does on the category pages? Can you post a tag trace of the landing page?

BTW, if_txp:custom_field should be txp:if_custom_field, but I guess you know that ;)

Re: Outputing a list of articles for specific category on landing page

What the tag trace seems to say is that your articles 56, 57 and 58 don’t have a value in custom field ‘Subcategorie’. If you are sure you entered a value, is the name of the custom field spelled correctly? Does it output anything if you just put <txp:custom_field name="Subcategorie" /> in your form -landing-subcat?

Edit: I noticed your post in the glz_custom_fields thread. If this is about the same site, and my above suggestions don’t help, did you check if the plugin could be interfering?

Re: Outputing a list of articles for specific category on landing page

Thx for your pointers! It’s now working. For the sake of reference here is the sectionpage code:-

<txp:if_individual_article>
	<h1>single article needs own form</h1>
	<txp:article />
	<txp:else />
	<txp:if_category>
		<txp:if_category name="export-landingpage">
			<h1>Export-landingpage</h1>
			 <ul class="category" <txp:category />>
				<txp:article form="-landingpg-cat-export" />
			</ul>
		<txp:else />
			<h1><txp:category title="1" />: This is a child category page</h1>
			<ul class="category" <txp:category />>
			    <txp:article form="-landingpg-cat-child" />
			</ul>
		</txp:if_category>
		<txp:else />
			<h1>Assortiment - This is the section landing page</h1>
			<ul class="main-categories">
			    <txp:article_custom section="assortiment" category="assortiment" sort="title" form="-landingpg-cat" />
			</ul>
	</txp:if_category>
</txp:if_individual_article>

I wouldn’t have got here without your pointers Els, many many thx.
